I want him to kill her in a room decorated with pics of Paul, a bit like in Dexter, and rant about how it’s her fault he died, and say about how he loved him and stuff, and then kill her very brutally and painfully (sorry, i just really loved Jacob and Pauls relationship lol) xx

I agree with posters that comment on the lack of other FBI agents. It appears that there are only 3 o fthem each week except for the computer experts. I don’t find them as inept as some. They manage to find the different lairs each week; Jacob’s vacation home, Emma’s home, the armory with very little to go on. They just get there too late. it has too be that way or Joe is back in jail and the cult is broken up.

The plot lines tend to be predictable, or if not predictable, at least predictable enough in that any time they need a way out, everyone but the 3 main FBI agents turn out to be cult members and allow the bad guys to escape. Every episode ends up with Ryan alone with the bad guy in a dark corridor…. Its just getting old. I wish I could quit watching but I feel like I need to make it through the finale. This episode was better than the last few, but ever since the first episode this show has lost steam for me.

Wed, 10 Apr 2013 03:48:37 +0000http://tvline.com/?p=424598#comment-975662I don’t know about you guys but I think, by season’s end, someone more creative than me will put together a reel on YouTube featuring all the times Ryan Hardy runs out after a baddie and comes out into the night, with streetlights/taillights shining on his face, the sound of his weak heart beating ferociously and that shocked/horrified/mortified/stunned/OHMYGODWHY expression on his face. I believe I have seen one of those sequences and expressions in EVERY episode so far. Maybe the writers have a game going on about how they can cram it in every episode… “The Following :-O” we’ll call it someday in iMDB trivia notes.

Another note: I feel like the house and the cult are more RODERICK’S followers than they are of Joe Carroll. It was Roderick who recruited most of them, housed them, armed them and, well, trained them. More of these people know Roderick than they know Joe. And more of their personas match Roderick rather than Joe. I guess my point is… why are people still listening to anything Joe says? Why is Roderick? I still haven’t SEEN anything about why Joe Carroll is so seductive to these people…

Wed, 10 Apr 2013 01:44:17 +0000http://tvline.com/?p=424598#comment-975500people are complaining because the suspension of disbelief is too great to bear. SOME semblance of truth is required to maintain an audience that isn’t sitting there saying, “this is impossibly stupid.” when the FBI and FBI agents have to make choices, and EVERY TIME make the wrong one, people begin to roll their eyes. the FBI, in real life, is an elite law enforcement agency that requires training and intelligence. people watching the show expect them to act at least somewhat meet those expectations, because the show, while fictional, is supposed to be set in the real world. in this show, the FBI are, maybe, as competent mall security guards. people don’t buy it.

Wed, 10 Apr 2013 01:26:10 +0000http://tvline.com/?p=424598#comment-975475I’m assuming he read the pilot script. and I thought the pilot episode was good! possibly the best episode of the season, but the show REALLY went downhill at like, episode 4 or 5, and completely jumped the shark by episode 6. too late to back out at that point.

Wed, 10 Apr 2013 01:23:14 +0000http://tvline.com/?p=424598#comment-975467I don’t know how much longer I can put up with this show, and I so desperately want to like it. The premise is so good. Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy are great – most of the acting is really good, considering the material. But the writing…the incompetence of the FBI, the impossibility of Joe coordinating all this stuff from behind bars with only Roderick to help, etc…it’s just too much to be believed.

Wed, 10 Apr 2013 00:55:25 +0000http://tvline.com/?p=424598#comment-975418I could be wrong because so far all the FBI folks are pretty stupid (I think they must have hired all of the CTU folks) but I think she was just walking to the window to get a better signal and not actually taking his advice to walk to the street.

Saying that, I do think this is going to get old pretty fast… meaning how many times can the FBI be so close only to have the ‘cult crew’ outwit them yet again. None of these folks had ever been to this house – yet the 2 bad guys know the layout well enough to get out and not be anywhere in site by the time Ryan gets outside… He was only a second or two behind.

Wed, 10 Apr 2013 00:26:37 +0000http://tvline.com/?p=424598#comment-975369Maybe the cliffhanger will be that the FBI gets the upper hand and that will blow viewers away.
